if buying motor read...

just read this on hondaswap. if you're thinking of buying jdm engines this will hopefully narrow down your choices.

and if you go to there website
http://www.japanstarmotor.com/honda.html

the Horse Power ratings are all wrong, since when did a JDM B18CR have 210 HP, last time i checked it was 197 HP,
they are over rating every engine more then they actually are. and even the d15b @ 130 HP, how does a DX engine have that much power and also has VTEC, i'm guess they are talking about the d16 engine, but still over rated

f*cking scammers
